rhetoric

Have you studied the concept of rhetoric and argument skills before in other classes prior to ENG 108? In light of the fact that rhetoric includes such aspects as effectively using language, evaluating evidence, and engaging in dialogue with other people, in what ways could the study of rhetoric help you in your daily life? 

For example, how might rhetoric be useful to you in interpersonal communication, your academic major, writing, a job, your intended profession, and so forth? 

I didn't study rhetoric and i study industrial engineering. You can write between 150-250 words about rhetoric and answer the question.
